The Mummies of Guanajuato are a collection of naturally mummified bodies that were unearthed from the Santa Paula cemetery starting in the mid-19th century. The mummification occurred spontaneously due to climatic and soil conditions in Guanajuato. This phenomenon, initially motivated by the exhumation of bodies whose relatives could not pay perpetuity fees, has become a fascinating object of study for anthropologists and historians. Today, these mummies allow visitors to better understand the funerary practices, beliefs about death and social history of the region; it is worth noting that the Traveling Mummies, located in the Cerro del Cubilete, are different units from those exhibited in the Mummy Museum of Guanajuato.

Santuario de Cristo Rey
The Monument to Christ the King, located at the top of the Cerro del Cubilete, is one of the most emblematic symbols of the Catholic faith in Mexico. Its construction began in the 1940s to commemorate the religious devotion of the Mexican people, particularly in the post-revolutionary era and after the Cristero War, which defended freedom of worship. The statue, 20 metres high, was erected in the geographical centre of the country and depicts Christ King of Peace with outstretched arms as a protective figure. This site has been a point of pilgrimage and is testimony to the religious history of the country.
